How to make Genshin not latch on the Xiaomi phone

Mobile versions of popular RPG-Projects often require the hardware of the smartphone to maximize performance, and Genshin Impact is no exception. POCO They often experience drops in frames, long loads and heat during the passage, which is because optimizing the game for a wide range of Android hardware devices is a difficult task for developers.

The problem can be in the software limitations of the MIUI shell or HyperOS, as well as in the crowded cache or background processes that eat up precious CPU resources. Optimizing the system before starting a game is the first and most important step to a comfortable game. Ignoring basic settings often leads to the fact that even a powerful phone performs worse than it could.

In this article, we will discuss proven methods that will help stabilize the game, we will not use third-party mods or hacked versions that can lead to account locking, all actions will be performed using the regular system tools or secure settings within the application itself.

Customization of graphics inside Genshin Impact

The first thing you need to do is to properly configure the rendering options within the application itself. Many users default to high settings, relying on the claimed characteristics of the processor, but forgetting about thermal throttling. Trottling is a protective mechanism that reduces the frequency of the processor when heated, which instantly causes lags.

Go to the game menu, select Settings → Graphics. It’s important to find a balance between picture quality and smoothness. If your phone is not a flagship with top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Dimensity 9200+ chips, it’s better to sacrifice detail for a stable FPS. Experienced players know that on a small smartphone screen, the difference between Medium and High quality is often invisible in the heat of battle.

• 🎮 Set the rendering resolution to 0.8 or 0.6 – this will significantly reduce the load on the rendering. GPU.
• 🌫️ Disable or reduce volumetric rendering, as it is the most loading system in open locations.
• 📉 The limit is better to set 30 or 45 if 60. FPS cause instability and jerking.

⚠️ Note: Use of third-party plugins to unlock 120 FPS Unsupported devices can lead to the blocking of the account by the anticheat system.

Also worth paying attention to is the shadow setting and smoothing. Dynamic shadows put extra strain on real-time computing. If you play mostly in dungeons or at night in a game, these effects are less noticeable. Minimizing the quality of shadows gives you up to 15% performance gains on older models.

Use of Game Turbo and Game Mode

The MIUI and HyperOS shells have a built-in tool for gamers called Game Turbo, which not only collects games into one folder, but also manages the allocation of CPU resources, and the right setup of this partition can make a difference in the slowdown situation.

To activate maximum performance, look for the Game Turbo icon (often in the Tools folder or called by a swipe from the corner of the screen while playing). In the settings, select the Performance or No Limits profile, which will prevent the system from aggressively cleaning memory and reducing CPU frequencies while Genshin Impact is running.

Within the Game Turbo menu, you can add additional settings for a specific game. Click on the gear next to Genshin's icon. You can turn on "Network Response Acceleration" and "CPU Priority," which will reserve some of the RAM for the gameplay, preventing background services from interfering.

Remember that Game Turbo also allows you to take screenshots and record screens without leaving the game, but remember that enabling high-resolution video recording while playing can, on the contrary, cause lags on weak devices due to the encoding of the video stream in real time.

Memory Cleansing and Background Process Management

Android systems tend to accumulate data in RAM, which is especially critical for heavy gaming. If your phone has 4 or 6 GB of RAM, every megabyte counts. Before starting Genshin Impact, you need to free up resources.

Use Xiaomi's built-in Security app. Run Memory Cleanup or Accelerate. This will force the background apps you might have run before: browser, social media, stores, and check which apps have auto-run permission.

Go to Settings → Apps → All apps. Find heavy programs that you’re not using right now (like maps or news aggregators) and force them to stop. This will free up CPU cycles for rendering graphics.

Special attention should be paid to the cache of the game itself. If Genshin Impact has updated, old resources can conflict with new ones. In the phone settings, find the app, select Memory and click Clear Cache. Don't confuse it with Clear All Data, otherwise you will have to re-download the game resources.

💡

Rebooting your phone before a game session cleans system temporary files more efficiently than any software-cliner.

Optimization of energy saving and charging

Temperature is the main enemy of Xiaomi smartphone performance. When the body heats up above 40-45 degrees, the system artificially lowers the clock speed of the processor to avoid damage to components, at which point the FPS in the game can drop from 60 to 20 frames.

Play with the charge turned off if possible. The battery charge itself generates heat, and in the sum of the load from the game, the phone turns into a stove. If you play long time from the mains, remove the case for better heat sink.

In the battery settings (Settings → Battery), select Performance or Balanced mode. Energy Saving mode is categorically not suitable for gaming, as it limits the CPU frequency and screen brightness. Also turn off Adaptive Brightness so that the screen does not try to save energy at the expense of visibility.

⚠️ Warning: Do not place your phone on soft surfaces (sofa, bed) while playing, as this blocks heat removal and speeds up overheating.

There is a myth that Developer Mode can magically boost FPS. In fact, there is a useful feature called 4x MSAA, but it increases the load on the GPU. For weak Redmi or POCO phones, it is better not to touch the settings in the developer menu at all, leaving the system to automation.

Update of the system and GPU drivers

Xiaomi regularly releases firmware updates, which often include security patches and, importantly, game engine optimization. If you have an older version of MIUI installed, you may be missing out on important stability improvements.

Check for updates in Settings → About Phone. Sometimes newer versions of Android or security patches change the way you work with memory, which has a positive effect on heavy apps. However, if you are on a stable version and are afraid of new bugs, you better wait for feedback from other users.

It is also worth updating the Genshin Impact itself via Google Play or AppGallery. The game developers constantly release hotfixes that correct memory leaks and rendering errors on specific chip models. An outdated version of the client can work unstable even on powerful hardware.

Hidden Developer Settings for Advanced Developers

For those of you who aren't afraid to experiment, there's a developer menu, and to get there, you have to click 7 times on the build number in the About menu, and there are options that can help, but you have to be careful.

Find the item "Logger size" which does not usually affect FPS, but can help with debugging. More important is the option "Background limit of processes." Set the value "No background processes" before starting the game, which ensures that the system kills all the excess.

Another important item is, "Scale of animation." Although it affects the interface, setting a value. 0.5x Or “Disconnected” makes the system visually more responsive, freeing up a few resources. UI-But remember, any changes you make here are at your own risk.

• 🔍 Enable the “Show Surface Updates” option – flashing screens will point to apps loading GPU.
• 🚫 Turn off Bluetooth if you don’t use a headset, as the communication module also consumes resources.
• 📡 Turn the network to 5G 5GHz stable Wi-Fi to reduce ping, which is often confused with lags.

You don't need to install third-party boosters from the Play Market. In most cases, they just kill the processes that the system immediately starts again, creating additional load on the processor. Xiaomi's built-in tools are enough for competent resource management.

Integrated approach: Graphics reduction + Game Turbo + cooling give a better result than any action.
